. Vamos.
AMOciated Pre**.
New York Nov. 4. —Judges coroners
the district attorney and other occu-
pants of the $2000000 criminal court
building worked all night to vacate
the structure which is believed to be
crumbling and in danger of sudden col-
lapse. While the police had stopped all
street cars and other traffic from pass-
ing the building and had roped off the
streets for a block in all directions of-
ficials who had quarters in the historic
structure risked their lives they be-
lieved in carrying out such of their
personal belongings and official rec-
ords as they could.
While experts declare that the build-
ing is in no danger of immediate col-
lapse the judges of the court of general
sessions held a meeting and declared
that they would not risk their lives
there. These seven justices hoped today
to find quarters in the county court
house and possibly in the new and un-
occupied police headquarters in Broome
street. The coroners moved their of-
fice to the present police headquarters
in Mulberry street. The police court
was moved to Jefferson market and
while the district attorney had removed
most of his important records he had
found no new quartern in the early
part of the day. A cordon of police
turned the visitors away from the
threatened building.
